Genesis 7

1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Go into the ark, thou and all thy house; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

And the Lord said to him: Go in thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee I have seen just before me in this generation.

2 Of all clean beasts thou shalt take to thee by sevens, a male and its female; but of the beasts that are not clean two, a male and its female.

Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and the female.

3 Also of the fowl of the heavens by sevens, male and female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.

But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and the female. Of the fowls also of the air seven and seven, the male and the female: that seed may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.

4 For in yet seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living being which I have made will I destroy from the ground.

For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.

5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah had commanded him.

And Noe did all things which the Lord had commanded him.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.

And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

And Noe went in and his sons, his wife and the wives of his sons with him into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowl, and of everything that creeps on the ground,

And of beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of every thing that moveth upon the earth,

9 there came two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had commanded Noe.

10 And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

And after the seven days were passed, the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened:

12 And the pour of rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 On the same day went Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark:

14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and all fowl after its kind — every bird of every wing.

They and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that fly,

15 And they went to Noah, into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which was the breath of life.

Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein was the breath of life.

16 And they that came, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.

And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the outside.

17 And the flood was forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark; and it was lifted up above the earth.

And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from the earth.

18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.

For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth; and all the high mountains that are under all the heavens were covered.

And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward the waters prevailed; and the mountains were covered.

The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.

21 And all flesh that moved on the earth expired, fowl as well as cattle, and beasts, and all crawling things which crawl on the earth, and all mankind:

And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men.

22 everything which had in its nostrils the breath of life, of all that was on the dry [land], died.

And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, died.

23 And every living being was destroyed that was on the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and fowl of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth. And Noah alone remained, and what was with him in the ark.

And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
